These are some of the main Lecture/Demonstrations and Workshops
presented to groups in recent years

"PUPPETS IN PROFILE"

A lecture/demonstration covering the four main
types of puppet - shadow, glove, rod and string. Including how
each figure is made and short excerpts of performances with each.

"MAKING FACES"

A lecture/demonstration dedicated to the all-important
aspect of puppet heads. From the simplest basic shapes with added
features, to complex latex-moulded heads. Including painting
techniques, wigs, characterisation, construction methods and materials.

"WITCHES & WIZARDS"

This workshop was presented as a follow-on to the above
"Making Faces" Lecture/Demonstration and utilised some of the techniques
covered in that presentation to make a witch or wizard rod puppet using either a polystyrene
shape with added features or a paper mask.

"BEAUTIFUL BIRDS & BEASTLY BUGS"

This workshop presented ideas on how to make either a bird marionette or bug hand puppet from
foam, felt and fur fabric. For more pictures from this
